China's golden age had reached its peak around the time of the Olympics and it's been all downhills since, credit to, in part, their carelessness in introducing the corona virus to the world. CCP is well aware of the bubble and its inevitable pop. Their nervousness about its impact can be seen through their sharp escalation in threats to Taiwan. They are looking to rechannel the domestic public outcry and dissent that will follow to a national war rally. That's a classic proven go-to play in the authoritarian playbook. With the Russians helping distract the US, the timing may be right, though the window may be small. Their decline may be just as rapid as their rise and the time is ticking. How determined is Xi to put himself in history books as the modern day national hero that finally achieves the grand territorial goals?
interesting anylisis ,i too look at the situation with trepidation having lived a lot of my life in hk and taiwan.this re distribution of wealth idea by xi is madness,chinese save by buying real estate as ve noted.bury that and all hell breaks loose.as u say the nationalists could funnel dissent into a foreign war and taiwan is the target but they still dont have the capeability to pull it off,mess up taiwan for sure.japan and usa plus a few others have shown up to support taiwan but hopefully xi will fall before we get that far.

One of big reasons fueling this looming disaster is the fact that China provides very little in the way of security for its seniors. So they have a very high savings rate which means that they have to put their money somewhere. If China had instituted a decent social security system in the early days of its growth, that growth would have been slower but more sustainable. It's citizens would have spent more on consumption and invested less which would have resulted in a more balanced and sustainable economy.
Also, the Chinese govt has forced the private sector to invest or lend money to losing state banks and industries. Xi's bizarre version of socialsim- support state banks and industries but starve funding for social programs - are driving China towards a major financial disaster. Unless things radically change, China seems destined to be a perpetual middle income nation.
hi sir,i agree with your summary and this insane measure to try to re jig the wealth spread is just that,as u say chinese buy property to save.you screw this your gonna have serious problems as deng said the deals this'i shall allow to become gloriously rich' xi better keep his end up

That doc is treating a very small number of patients. And even she says it's too early to tell.
she is not just using her own data and patients, the whole country is feeding data into her.its been in europe even longer we are now told.no reported deaths ,continues as low/mild symptoms this is a base change from delta.good news.the MSM would be going nuts if there was one death from it.we have been looking at it several weeks amost a mnth now and no blot on the landscape as yet,of course wait longer your correct but the science and news says positive things ,the behaviour of the virus in the past is like this,i was in hk during SARS 1 and this is looking similar.less fatality easier to get,displacing the more dangerous variant.the end of the world was the shriek from MSM and now they are very silent on that .she says its early too but repeats its mild again and again ,she was very positive before and obviously has been told to tone it down,WHO.....look at the pathetic attempts to go to china and wuhan to find the source,many drs came back and said no access.that wasnt a topic of conversation when it happened . MSM.if deaths were happening wed be getting a minute by minute scoreline from CNN and BBC.its just not happened.this is great news its following the historic pattern,covid kills very few people and this new variant none as of yet.i will stick with those facts u interprete them according to your reality.if we see a sudden spike in deaths so be it but weve seen none.people are now in europe being forced to jab,ive been jabbed in order to travel.everyones gonna get this before we are thru and most wont even know it ,its so mild thats what SA is seeing amongst jabbed people and even unjabbed are mostly asymptomatic.the glass is half full and people are sick of this mass hysteria look at melbourne and oz in general thats insane.

germany has removed thailand but you need a jab thats approved IE the non chinese ones.makes sense .not that anutiin.i hope mre countries adapt this sensible approach but will thailand reciprocate?i hope so.it will be good for them.vaccinated germans with a pcr neg test and NO quarantine r scam insurance.i just had 2 friends go NOOOO to thailand when they read the ins scam deal on the thai webpage.QED i wouldnt come either,open means open not scam on hotel rooms and ins.drop it and people will come as they arnt now.only people i see are ex pats returning mainly thru sandbox with a small %age of bonafide tourists.a lot of older people cant be fussed with more computer nonsense they just want to show their covid jab papers and pcr and get on a plane,screw all the downloading and so on,most people dont have printers scanners etc at their fingertips and money for the scams.plenty of other places that are cheap and not a rip off,turkey....its real cheap right now and not far from germany

no one has died of the new variant as of yet,no one thats what the drs in j'burg are saying.ask them. the shreiking from CNN well thats just another story.facts ask the drs then,all im doing is repeating what theyre saying.in europe where delta is still running amok dont have any deaths from SA variant and wed know about it real quick if they did.science ......the facts about that are useful but if the EU dont wanna deal with the SA variants lack of pathogenicity thats another story,SA variant will displace the delta thats the scientific fact as ive said before.even the pro establishment media are starting to say that now as the fact cant be ignored.let it rip and displace delta quicker ,the world will be safer than it is suffering delta and thats what is happening NOW.you think your smart?ignoring science!u do ur vodoo stuff ill stick with what dr coertzee says

hopefully the new variant is here and will spread rapidly therefore displacing the delta variant and ending the mania that has been inflicted on our planet.the virus is exhibiting its classic pattern now,becoming more transmissable and less pathogenic as it mutates and replicates.symptoms are minor and mild according to dr coetzee who found in several weeks ago and whos followed her patients and her colleagues who followed theirs.no patient has had to be hospitalised as yet and they suffer from heavy fatigue for 2 to 3 days plus a runny nose a scratchy throat and slight cough.all signs of a viral infection.almost all are young people.this is what happened to SARS 1 in hk it disappeared due to this process which is natural path to a virus.its seeking to survive,deaths as we see worldwide have dropped of to about 6-7000 a day,there 7.5 billion of us approx.the pathetic displays of govt over the last few days show the mindset and control factors involved.this could be our best xmas present in a while.the door to normality is open again...if we wish to use it and govt allows us to.thats the disturbing thing.the MRNA vaccs are the most effective against it.calm down and stop screaming the end of this madness is nigh if you can unlock your mental chains.if this doesnt end it the next major mutation will,hopefully the reports will continue as theyve gone so far and we are out of the woods,we will know in a few days if not already lets hope the news isnt censored to pander to agendas

the new variant is easier to catch and is less pathogenic.classic corona virus behaviour so it will supplant the delta and if it too is supplanted will eventaully disappear a la sars 1,i think we are on the last stretch.the SA variant has yet to officially kill anyone.

Thank you! So Evergrand misspelt and without a capital letter to denote a company. No wonder I had to ask. I though the article ungrammatical in general.
ohh a grammar nazi.how tiring,anyone who has the faintest knowledge of the financial world knows what the china property mkts going thru right now and from where it emanates.obviously a first class knowledge of grammar does not allow for a wider knowledge and education of the world around us,see if you can get a refund on all those wasted school fees.

interesting,so the unclean are not infecting the anointed ones,over to you anutin.so can thailand actually re open as thats ot whats happening,the scams are all still on full blast and real tourist entries are minimal.lets go on holidays to a place that demands you wear a mask,doesnt allow you to eat and drink freely and scams you for money at every opportunity when u r better protected than most of the this countrys inhabitants,ie you have 2 shots of a vacc that actually does work and a pcr to say your clear.

i am puzzled by this.people are usually overseas when they apply as they wish to come t thailand on holidays?is that a correct assumption?is this some type of einstein like breakthru im purporting to make?i dont know what to say,stupidity incompetence and arrogance.why dont they let people walk in the embassy with the paperwork look at it and print them out a form,end of story,i have spoken to several people who started the process most gave up said$%^& that and went elsewhere a few stuck at it and were stressed to the bone,the ins seemed to be part f the problem i ve a buddy with 2 kids he wanted t come for 2 weeks but the airfares and then this ins scam its another 50 quid a head 200,naaaah we are off to sharm al sheik.also no one seems able to pick up the phone and answer a simple question at the embassy [the same disease the uk emb here has!!must get passed around at the cocktail parties,very contagious], get annoyed when u point out the system doesnt work and youve booked a flight already,well its all over u tube,check it out ,its a bundle of laughs!

everyones different likes and dislikes ,covids done it for me,ive been here a yr half now,i want out,ive a condo here so i wish to sell it,cant right now but i hope to early next yr. things are looking up covid wise.on my way,itravelled extensively before covid ,here was but a stopping point and it was great for that,4 weeks and out,enjoy what the place has to offer,some good spots down south,great food,fantastic restaurant scene in bkk and so on,but many aspects of the country dont suit me,the fact youve basically no rights,no respect in a culture obsessed with such,rascim,the govt and its restrictions ,medical insurance,the science of difficult.theres plenty of options,locally PH camb perhaps vietnam,further afield parts of latam,panama costarica colombia equador,all offer citizenship and med cover in a few yrs,southern europe port,spain greece and so on.time to move on but imo thailand is not what it was 20 yrs ago or even 5 yrs ago,if you like it great but it dont sit right with an increasing no of people,respect that

sounds increasingly desperate,what needs to be done is simple,if u r double vacced with a western vacc and can prove it ,enter ,have a covid neg pcr too.no false quarantine scam vis a vis a very expensive hotel for 1 night,thai embassy and govt butt out,no ins as u r clear on entry and if catch it you caught it here so thailand must treat you .as thais in other countries are treated if they get it,but the concept of fair play or justice is not one that we see often in thai govt or society ,its grab it now and get as much as u can.chickens are roosting.perhaps there will be a final coup de grace when the screaming selfish northern hordes devour the realm with the help of the junta - subs and trains sets a nd .....all.kharma indeed

it appears the vast nos of thais who arnt fully vaxed will be at risk,the foreigners are well protected and all are virus free on entry,so.........what happens next?i believe there will not be so many people coming. hk and china wont allow their people to come,europeans ....not really .too far too much hassle,easier and closer options.moneys thin on the ground everywhere so......ex pats can return.a few others who are needing to scratch an itch.hurry up with those vaccs ,27th to the 1st well should be able to vax a few million times and that will help!6 days.after that keep it coming real fast.the restrictions will unleash internal infections which im sure the xenophobes will blame us for but the science says it aint.we w ill be having an interesting few weeks
